Structural characteristics and functional consequences of lateral ankle sprains
Ankles injuries account for 8% of health care consultations and ankle sprainsconstitute about 85% of all ankle injuries. Lateral ankle sprain is a type of injury that affectsboth the general and the sporting population. Lateral ankle sprain has a high rate ofrecurrence which can often lead to …

Effect of Orthotics on Dynamic Balance in Participants with Pes Planus and Subacute Lateral Ankle Sprains
Lateral ankle sprains are common athletic injuries which lead to a decrease in balance via proprioceptive damage around the joint. Orthotics have been shown to help increase balance following acute ankle sprains. This research focused on the effect of orthotics on balance in participants with …

The Management of acute lateral ankle sprains: A survey of South African Surgeons and best evidence available
Introduction: Ankle sprains remain the single most frequent injury in modern sports with increasing evidence that it is not as innocuous as previously thought. Conservative treatment options include various forms of immobilization such as casts, moonboots and stirrup braces, followed by a …

Impairment in Dynamic Postural Control Following an Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain
Lateral ankle sprains are the most common injury in sports, with an estimated 25,000 per day. Current research assesses postural control deficits following lateral ankle sprains; however most studies use static stances instead of dynamic stances. Most of the current research compares injured limb …

Ankle Kinetics During Landing Tasks in Participants with Chronic Ankle Instability and Uninjured Controls
Lateral ankle sprains are a common injury sustained by physically active individuals. Many of these individuals will incur repetitive episodes of lateral ankle sprain, resulting in chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI has been heavily researched, but few conclusions have been drawn. Much of this …

Effects of prophylactic lace-up ankle braces on kinetics and kinematics of the lower extremity during a state of fatigue.
… are commonly used on athletes regardless of ankle injury history to reduce lateral ankle sprains (LAS). However, their ability to limit ankle sagittal range of motion has the potential to alter knee kinematics and is linked to chronic knee pathologies. Thirteen college-aged (6 males) and (7 …

A cross sectional study to determine whether there are central nervous system changes in football players who have sustained recurrent lateral ankle injuries using the laterality judgement task, two point discrimination test and limb perception testing
Background: A chronic ankle sprain injury is a condition that affects professional, amateur and social football players globally. Despite a large amount of research into the medical management of this condition, it remains one of the most frequently experienced injuries in professional football. A …

Electromyographical Analysis of and Medial-Lateral Anticipatory Postural Adjustments prior to Stepping and Single Leg Reaching in Chronic Unstable Ankles
<p>The repetitive occurrence of multiple lateral ankle sprains within the physically active population is termed chronic ankle instability (CAI). Previous research remains limited regarding the preparatory activation of the dynamic restraints at the hip (gluteus medius-GM, adductor magnus-AM), and …

Cross sectional study to determine whether there are central nervous system changes in rugby players who have sustained recurrent ankle injuries
… injury rates in sport. The literature exposes ankle injuries as one of the most common areas injured in sport and this trend carries through in rugby too, with lateral ankle sprains predominating. Recurrent ankle injuries are commonly reported in the literature and account for high economic and …
